I wouldn’t even though I own and buy DVDs regularly. It is the best method I found to watch old movies (Citizen Kane, the Alien quadrilogy, Dune from 1984, the LoTR trilogy, Waterworld) without subscribing to six different streaming platform.

But I understand the golden age of physical media has passed so for new movies I don’t know what to do.
